Erin M. replied:
Dr Day at Hilltop Dental is amazing, doesn't push t he kids if they are uncomfortable, super friendly the staff is amazing. Eli actually asks to do to the dentist
Missy M. replied:
Oh ya, Dr. Williams at family first isn't a pediatric only dentist but he and his staff are super great with kids!
Jessica D. replied:
Erin, I have been going to Dr. Cox forever. He's great! And his wife is an orthodontist in the same office.
Sue V. replied:
Dr Pope in Central Park is a great doc. Both kids have gone to him. There office staff is wonderful. They are conservative and don't push unnecessary products or procedures. He is older and goofy. So nonthreatening to the kids.
Heather R. replied:
Dr Cox is digital so there is super low levels of radiation.
Erin L. replied:
Well because we have Humana our choices are limited but Dr. Williams is in network. Thank you Missy Miles !
Erin L. replied:
We were seeing Dr. Kakar. I personally do not think that paying $660 for narcotic sedation for a child is okay. We are looking at over $1000 for each of the girls and the bed side manor is crap. He has another dentist in his office that I do like Dr. G ill, but I just can't get past a pediatric dentist that obviously does not want to work with kids. My poor girls inherited my crappy teeth so we need a good dentist on our side.
Erin W. replied:
Oh I have not heard anything good about Kakar recently. We saw Dr. Vitsky but not sure his replacements name.
Kerry P. replied:
Gena Neidert with Big Smile Dental. She is amazing and Quinn had four cavities filled at four years old with no gas or sedation and she thought it was fun!!
Erin L. replied:
That is horrible Heather ! He is just sketchy to me. Erin we used to see Dr Vitsky before our insurance changed. I loved him. He is old school.
Jamie O. replied:
I second the rec for Big Smile Dental. N sees Dr. Neidert there and E sees Dr. Waller. It's a family practice, but everyone there has been awesome with our kids. And it's very low key...they never get pushy and try to sell you on procedures, etc.
Shannon N. replied:
Dr. Dameron and archibald on littlepage street. My daughter and son both have done very well there!
Dani K. replied:
I'm not a fan of pediatric dentists. They charge way too much. I prefer just taking my kids to a good dentist who is still good with kids. I went to Allen and Tatem in Fred. They are really good and did well with my kids. Dr. Allen is awesome.
++You're the Expert++ A mom has written in and asked for your help. She is looking for a pediatric dentist. Who do you recommend?

We love Dr. Williams at Family First Dental off Plank. He's so great with kids...even my 2 yr old likes him. My 6 yr old was in a playground accident that resulted in 2 chipped front teeth, and he freaked all the way out. Dr. Williams was so patient with him and was able to fix his teeth within 2 visits. He was also willing to let him come in free of charge just so he could get comfortable with him to allow him to fix them....it only took two visits before my son was comfortable. His teeth look amazing!

I just took my 3 year old to the dentist for the first time yesterday. We went to see Dr. Williams at Family First Dental off of Rt. 3.... He was wonderful! She had a great first experience The staff was so welcoming and made my little one very comfortable. She wasn't afraid at all! She let them do everything they needed to, because they made it sound fun. I actually chose Family First Dental because of how many people recommended the practice.
Lisa B. replied:
We go to Dr. Jones st Camp Tooth, too. My 2 yo had a tiny cavity filled with no problem, on his very first visit to a dentist...ever! They are kind and thorough. Went there after a terrible run at Dr. Kakar's office. Avoid him!
Aimee H. replied:
Freedom Family Dentist at Cosners. They were very good with my 10 and 6 year old. Several friends that their children there to.

Dr. Kakar! My pediatrician takes her own kids to him. We've been seeing him since Christian was about a year old!
Can anyone recommend a good children's dentist? Going to get Isaiah in for his first cleaning :)

Yup, highly recommend Kool Smiles. Both my kids love them. I was worried about London since she's so young, but they're really patient & tell the kids what they're doing as they do it.
